This last week was pretty crazy though. All week long we had been getting cancelled on, by members and our investigators. So Tuesday night we were at our investigators house.(The one i invited to baptism.) We were teaching the about Joseph Smith and the first vision. I had never felt the spirit so strongly on my mission then at that time. There is truly a different type of spirit when you are teaching about Joseph Smith.
So after we are doing teaching him it was like 8:45 and we needed to start heading home. But there was just something that kept telling me that there was something else we needed to do. So we walked out of his house and we got a call from a member. She wanted us to give a blessing to one of her friends.
When we found where her friend had live, we walked into the house and the spirit I had felt still from the lesson we had taught left. There was just a really bad feeling in this house, it was very creepy and i cant really explain it. So proceeded to tell us that she had been feeling very angry lately, and how she had been feeling a lot of cold sweats. And it was just very creepy and weird how she was telling us and how this house and felt. So we explained to her what we were and what we did, and the power of the Priesthood a lot about the priesthood. So my companion started to give her the blessing, and after a couple of words that he had started to say, she just started bawling. And the feeling of the room completely changed, and the spirit started to fill the room. Then in the middle of the pray, the window behind us started shaking. And it sounded like something was trying to get in or out. It started to get so loud that i thought that they had a little kid behind us playing with the shades. I was so startled that i peek my eyes open and there was no one behind us.
When my companion had finished the prayer it had stopped. And the entire feel of the house and changed. And now this girl and her husband are getting lessons from us and, this experience has really changed there life.
I asked my companion if he had heard the sounds from the shades and felt what i felt. He said he didn't notice or hear the shades that he was so focused on the pray, but after he didn't remember anything that was said in the prayer. But he said he definitely felt the weird energy and bad feelings from her and the house.
It goes to show how amazing this work truly is and how it can really change peoples life's. If we obey the commandments that god has given to us we can will be blessed, and we can see miracles in are everyday life's. The Gospel is true and so very incredible. Without the lord we are nothing, and we should always take advantage of what he gives us, and not take little things for granted. I love and miss you all and i hope you look for the tender mercy's in you life's
Love Elder Peterson
